Publication in ODC-TBI

Releasing your data through the ODC-TBI requires a DOI request. Publication in ODC-TBI is overseen by and Editorial Board and the ODC Data Team. The Editorial Board reviews each dataset to determine if:

• The dataset is relevant to TBI

• The metadata are complete, clear and promote FAIR

• The data dictionary is complete and helps a user to understand the data

The ODC Data Team performs various data quality checks for DOI and works with the submitters to resolve any issues.

The ODC-TBI has adopted the same review process as the ODC-SCI. The process is collegial and designed to increase the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability (FAIR) of each dataset. Briefly, the steps involve:

• Initial checks for completeness of files by the Managing Editor

• In depth curatorial review for quality checks and data formatting

• Review of metadata by 2 Editorial Board members for relevance, completeness, FAIRness and clarity.

• Feedback to the submitter on any required or recommended changes.
